The crystal has been replaced with one to small and secured with glue that has failed; the silvered dial is worn and needs either repainting or a paper dial overpaste (these came both ways). The movement has been re-screwed to the rear of the case in a crooked fashion so that the winding arbors do not lineup with the dial holes; pendulum is a German replacement; bottom been knocked off once and is a little loose. Aside from those problems, the balance of the clock is good, with original finish; superb set of tablets with no scratches nor flaking; sharp label on the rear, and melodious steel rod for striking. Can be improved. Height 39"
